Licensed Plumber in Portola Valley, CA
Large estate homes in Portola Valley often have long supply runs, multiple water heaters and gas appliances, so plumbing work here tends to involve gas and permits. Portola Valley homeowners who need a licensed plumber can book on NorTech only an independent contractor whose California C-36 license has been checked against the state record, never someone who is still working toward one.
